I got a fever, babies, and the only prescription is MORE DROP SHADOW

I hear that stuff can be addictive, though. Be careful.

I bought matching Linsky's blue modem and router today. Now I need an airport card. Isn't Apple gay? Why do they call it "Airport Express" when it's really a plain router?

― Mary (Mary), Wednesday, 26 January 2005 08:54 (nineteen years ago) link

It's also a print server and wireless music terminal. it's also more of an access point than a router.

will the apple store ship to the uk?

― cozen (Cozen), Wednesday, 26 January 2005 13:15 (nineteen years ago) link

No, only the UK Apple store, and Apple threatens to cut off supply of anyd ealer who ships abroad, and besides a lot of US mail order operations will not accept foreign credit cards.

and bear in mind that UK customs and Excise will charge you VAT on anything you get sent.

the exchange rate is awesome at the moment: curb yr enthusiasm seasons 1-3 & seinfeld seasons 1-3: £89!!!!

You need a willing volunteer to bring one back from the states for you. DOn't forget to configure it with 512Mb of RAM, or face dissapointment.

:-(((((( I am still confused. Ideally I would like the ipod blow-up style iMAC with the gigantic screen + airport so that my husband can play xbox live and I can set up the old iMAC in another room. But our *dealer* says I can't hook up the old imac to airport?!? I refuse to believe this. :-( How can I find out he's wrong. Argh, I remember the good old times: an Apple Classic and me printing out my developmental psych project in four hours. hah.

The old iMac, if it has an Airport slot (assmuning G3 15" monitor style) then you need one of the old style airport cards which are out of production and can only be found an excessive cost on eBay. The old iMac could be linked to the network by wire, of course, the airport base station iMac, and broadband modem connected to a 4 port ethernet switch the other devices over the air.

New powerbooks out today. A slight speedbump. DDL graphic on the higher models, but still the same graphics chips still the same crappy 167Mhz frontside bus. I'm not so worried about Apple shoehorning a G5 into a laptop just yet but I won't buy one with this quite frankly jurassic frontside bus. IT basically the same mainborad that's been in there for years. Apple and Freescale need to pull their fingers out.

I knew you'd say that. And how come nobody told about the new petite airportexpress?

― Mary (Mary), Monday, 31 January 2005 22:01 (nineteen years ago) link

Today? Why didn't they do this at the confab?

about curb and seinfeld, RJG?

No idea, probably because as an upgrade it's so underwhelming, besides it would have put some early adopters off buying minis and shuffles, now they have something to buy this month too.

Time to hunker down and wait for Freescale 8641D laptops.

Hello video iPod.

Apple's managed to block most of the Mac web from updating live. We tip a hat to Apple for finding a location without cellphone or wireless access.

apple servers going crazy.

now this 60 gig ipod looks only a tad bigger than the nano for 10x the capacity.

― jed_ (jed), Wednesday, 12 October 2005 17:35 (eighteen years ago) link

A thinner iMac? Weren't they already dealing with lots of heat/melting problems?

I'm with you there, broseph.

I just bought a photo 60GB that has yet to arrive, so I am just going to send that right back to Amazon.

these new iMacs have DDR2 memory (I guess that's better, though questionable how much improvement over the PC3200 in my current G5) and PCI-Express graphics. Nice of Apple to join the rest of the industry on basic specs.

― milozauckerman (miloaukerman), Wednesday, 12 October 2005 18:19 (eighteen years ago) link

screen still too small. doesn't support avi/ xvid. DUMB

― kyle (akmonday), Wednesday, 12 October 2005 18:55 (eighteen years ago) link

The video ipod is cute. Just got it. No preloaded content though, sadly. I should be able to jam some sweet ass U2 videos right out of the box.

17" PowerBook released and has FireWire 800 built-in.

― LOL Thomas (Chris Barrus), Tuesday, 25 April 2006 00:26 (eighteen years ago) link

Any suggestions on good, cheap speakers? Apple.com features some Bose ones for a hundred bucks. From what I understand Bose is great, but I'm skeptical how good $100 speakers will be.

― Mickey (modestmickey), Tuesday, 25 April 2006 00:47 (eighteen years ago) link

hi mickey :-D

I'm not an audiophile, but from what I understand, Bose technology (like that clock radio that "sounds just as good as a hi-fi") is all snake oil. The Soundsticks are nice, as far as PC speakers go.

― naus (Robert T), Tuesday, 25 April 2006 01:18 (eighteen years ago) link

are the computer speakers to listen to the momus album you plan to steal?

― Sterling Clover (s_clover), Tuesday, 25 April 2006 01:20 (eighteen years ago) link

Sterling Clover, not bad. Refer to ILM and maybe you and Sanskrit could collaborate for the ultimate pwn. He really needs some help.

― Mickey (modestmickey), Tuesday, 25 April 2006 01:21 (eighteen years ago) link
